Assalamualaikum guys. 

It's the third day of Syawal 1442H and this year marks the first time i ever celebrated eid outside hometown though resides in Gombak for a decade - due to pandemic of course.

B

The night before, i ordered sate to eat in the morning. At around 10 am, we went down to Kak Ros' house (tuan rumah) for the first and last raya visit haha.

There was no one in sight and the hustle bustle of usual raya was no where to be seen. 

So after almost an hour there, we headed home upstairs and panaskan sate ketupat and all for us both to enjoy. 

Since i had severe period pain that afternoon, so i didnt touch any more food until the day after. 

First day of Raya was pretty much quiet and serene. People were all scared and being careful of police's warning of RM5K compound for any ziarah raya. Last year we were allowed to visit relatives but the increasing case and more variants of covid made us stay where we are. 

Oh i forgot to mention, we actually bake burnt cheese cake on the night of raya. Thanks to the air fryer! It was good and so simple to bake.

M and me rayaing on the first day. 

Yup, that's all i think for memory. InshaAllah. Im currently reading Little Women with a thousand pages and halfway through. Follow my bookish journey at my dedicated website. 

Wassalam. 

Assalamualaikum everyone. Alhamdulillah thumma alhamdulillah.

Today is already 6th Ramadhan and thank you Allah for this opportunity and rizq to meet this holy month yet again. Syukur. 

A year passed after the emergence of covid in our life worldwide and it is still here, in the community. 3 million people died due to this deadly virus - according to today's news. 

The mosques are open for tarawih but with certain restriction, and current case of covid is showing an upward trend and highly worrying especially thinking about the coming eid huhu. 

Lets not think about that now. 

For this Ramadhan, im working towards

- khatam Quran

- do not miss tarawih 

- do nawafil prayers

- do not miss tahajjud

- istighfar 100 times

- selawat 100 times

- memorise 5 hadith from the 40 Hadith

- finish tafsir hamka Juzuk 1 

- finish tajwid book just bought

Being 29 years old, you just wanted to do more and better. 

My routine during Ramadhan - during the day, go to school as usual and comes home at 3.30. Then, about 6 pm - go out for iftar food, either simple food at bazar or pick up at nearby restaurant. Iftar, maghrib - pray Isyak and tarawih in congregation at home - tadarus at 9.45 with usrah mates till 10.30, video call family - turn on laptop, do some work until get tired haha

Above all, alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal. Till then, ilalliqo' 

Assalamualaikum. Hai guys. 

I pray everyone is doing fine and in a good health, physical and mental.

Today, the TV announced PKP in Selangor will be extended to February 4th. 

This year, I have few more subjects i have to teach in addition of previous years - PJK and Pendidikan Seni. Last year, I was glad because these two didnt make it into my schedule. This year, nope. I dont like them by the way haha. 

1. I know no sports

2. I hate dislike arts. Arts and me cannot be friends. 

Okay, that put aside; my first class of the year wasnt a bed of roses. 

Thinking about it just made me feel like i totally failed myself haha

First day was given to class teacher to conduct the briefing session, so no online class on the first day. 

The haywires on my first class ;

i. started a bit late

ii. laptop cannot connect to hotspot (guys, my laptop usually dont have this problem)

iii. pupils talk to each other merrily despite me non stop saying please turn off your mic (wait till they see me in real haha)

iv. the audios of shared videos arent working 

v. pupils chatting again

vi. laptop hang (it picked the best time to hang)

vii. phone hang for seconds (pls iPhone dont embarass urself)

At the end of the session, we all have to sing the Asmaul Husna, state and school song but i only managed to make them nasyid the asmaul husna. The rest are good byes. I couldnt open the prepared video and i was clueless. 

Class done and i checked the whatsapp group and realised im not alone in this 

-  a teacher had to drive to school pronto when the internet suddenly not working

- a teacher started class at 10 am + due to lagging in wifi

- a teacher didnt load all the songs in the class, lagging as well

- a teacher cancelled the morning class and rescheduled to 2pm

- and wifi lag some more haha

Online classes aint easy. thinking of those less fortunate with no gadgets to access the class, no wifi, no facilities, inconvenient home etc. Allahuakbar

Wait, looking on the other side of the coin is - im grateful for still having a job to attend to, earning monthly salary, have some food on the table. Alhamdulillah. This rant is just purely me, sharing my day :)

This covid thingy is really haunting all of us in this whole wide world and no exemptions. May Allah take away this virus from us sooner. 

Bismillah. Assalamualaikum everyone. 

Assalamualaikum. Hope everyone is doing fine inshaAllah. 

Yesterday, I joined the program of giving out school supplies and donations to those who are less fortunate around Gombak, precisely in Hulu Klang. 

I was in Team B, and we had to reach out to 5 houses and one of them wasnt available, so we managed to deliver the donation to four kids. 

7.50 am : Departed from home

8.05 am : Arrived in Pusat Tarbiyah dan Dakwah HK

8.30 am : Breakfast with yummy nasi lemak & trip briefing

9.00 am : Started the journey, straight to the first house

11.00 am : Done with all 4 houses

11.30 : Home sweet home. Nap time haha

Shahir and Aina. Very nice, soft spoken and respect the elders. Single mom of 8. Sells aiskrim malaysia for a living. 

Since this is the last house, we took some time for pep talks. 

Yup, that's all. This is an annual program for Nisa' Gombak and usually I cant join because Im always at hometown when this took place, end of year. This time around, the school holidays are a bit shifted and so i could join alhamdulillah. 

Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal.
